Prescription
drug vending machines on college campuses
Tuesday, November 18, 2014
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
The total insanity of over-medication in America has reached a new low
as Arizona State University has installed a prescription drug vending
machine called InstyMeds.
American college students -- who are already the most over-medicated
population on the planet -- now have an even easier way to pollute
their brains with SSRI drugs, antidepressants, antipsychotics and
prescription "speed" amphetamines which are routinely abused by
students for final exam cram study sessions.
"School officials didn't specify exactly what kind of drugs will be
available in the machine, but said it would contain 50 medications that
are most commonly prescribed to college students," reports CBS News. [1]
"You know, the things that you'd like to have right now to feel
better," said InstyMeds Vice President Bob Bang, according to CBS News.
No doubt if cocaine were somehow patented by Glaxo Smith Kline, there
would also be cocaine vending machines on college campuses by now, too,
and marketed as a "performance booster" for students.
I don't assign any particular blame to the InstyMeds machine company,
by the way. The machine looks like a competent invention to bypass the
usual inefficiencies found in most pharmacy operations. The real
problem with medications in America is found across the culture, in the
quack science corruption and criminality of the drug industry, the
"give me a pill, doc!" patient mindset, and the "quick fix" mentality
where people think they can pop a pill to solve a problem.
Check out the Instymeds website for information on their invention,
which technically could be used to dispense all sorts of things that
are far more useful for student health -- such as vitamin D! Why don't
universities install nutritional products vending machines to actually
support cognitive function and immune function among students?
Big Pharma to sweep through universities
Big Pharma has already infiltrated and dominated medical schools and
"science" journals. Drug company interests also completely dominate the
mainstream media and government health care decision makers. Now
they're going to get their hooks into college campuses all across the
country where students can be trained to believe that life isn't
complete without a prescription medication in their hands.
These pharma drugs are so safe that students can be dosed with three,
five or even ten at a time, we're told. And yet the drugs are so
dangerous that "the medication is secure in the 1,500-pound,
'vault-like machines' that have remote alarms in response to any
tampering," reports ABC. Wouldn't want any students looting the machine
and selling those drugs on their own, you see. That would be "drug
dealing."
When a student sells amphetamines to another student, that's a felony
crime, you see. But when a vending machine sells amphetamines to the
same exact student by prescription, that's called "evidence-based
medicine."
Arizona State University is the second university in America to install
the prescription drug vending machine, and many more are in the works.
Seriously, is "easier access to more meds" really the answer to student
health?
"Serving the health-care needs of our students is still our highest
priority," remarked Allan Markus, director of ASU Health Services, when
the campus closed its pharmacy. And yet, I'm willing to bet nobody at
ASU Health Services ever bothered to tell students why they need to
boost their intake of vitamin D.
In fact, if a vitamin vending machine were installed on campus, it
would no doubt generate outrage and complaints from all the drug
company reps and the doctors they routinely bribe to keep pushing their
poisons onto students, pregnant women, babies and the elderly.
